First of all, thanks a lot for the great work. It came in very handy today
as my laptop screen was broken and I used my iphone as a temporary screen
by using vnsea over an ad hoc wifi network, all through my 1hr train ride.
I noticed a weird hang consistently while using gvim and every time I was
merely trying to delete a line to the system clipboard.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open gvim (7.1.1)
2. Type this command to delete a line to clipboard: "*dd

What version of the product are you using?
0.4

Please provide any additional information below.
Vnsea becomes unresponsive and can be quit by keeping the home button on
the phone pressed for a few seconds.

Just an update. As I started using it more, I realized that there is nothing specific
to gvim here, it is rather in general to do with clipboard itself. I tried copying
from eclipse and rxvt and the same issue. There seems to be a slight difference in
the symptoms as well. If I copy, it gets hung (one of the times, I had to even force
a reset of the phone by holding power and home buttons, but this might be a different
issue with the os), but if I cut, it exits immediately so I get back to the springboard.

I can get away without copying to clipboard as I can avoid that as long as I stay
inside gvim (using registers), but scrolling inside rxvt is a pain. I still haven't
mastered to use two finger gesture, so while trying to reposition the screen I often
end up doing a mouse drag on the rxvt which ends up copying the text instantaneously
and then I have to do a force restart of vnsea.

Since it is a general problem with clipboard, I request that the priority of this but
be raised.

OK, this makes much more sense. The VNC protocol sends clipboard changes between the server and client, so 
something must be going wrong when vnsea receives the message.

Hang has been fixed.  No crash..

I'm not sure what to do with the text that is suppose to go into the clipboard on the
iPhone.

Any ideas?
